Anyways no i'm not going to give any money to anybody there, the US is rich it has the money to restore the city. And in the mean time I can give my money to better things.

The life of a philanthropist is fraught with those who are too cowardly to do something good for fear of being considered fake.

American arrogance should not mean that the US is ignored when it actually needs the help of others.

Grow some balls, Wishy-Washy.

Grow some balls? Why to give money to people that don't need it as bad as others. To make myself feel better about myself? You do that, I have more important things to worry about. It sucked for them but its not the worst thing that ever happened.

Btw: about country's helping with this disaster.
The US is the one that has refused to ask for international help so far. Holland already send people but they can't start working yet because we are not allowed to do so. Ships are wasting time becuase the US refuses to ask for help.

Well Canada was finally cleared to send 3 warships with 1000 soldiers and disaster people filled with supplies.

The thing is i don't see the need to donate tons of cash as most people did for the tsunami. Well see that especially here. People gave so far 2 million of the hurricane but over 50 million were raised by this time for the tsunami.

I think sending supplies would help more then money especially in the US.

Well i understand if you don't donate money for the hurricane but if you didn't give a cent for the Tsunami you should be ashamed of yourself. You could have Gave a few cents or dollars. Don't give the argue i don't have money. I don't either but i was able to give $150.

I'm all for sending resources - machinery, vehicles, manpower, etc. But by supplies are you suggesting foreign countries should be sending food aid and medicine - because again there are destinations that have more need of such supplies.

Money is not needed like the tsunami .

Its us In Canada. As a close neighbour we have to help and instead of sending money the Govt is sending mostly supplies to the US.

Thats why you don't see that level of money being donated like the Tsunami. I liked the response to the Tsunami. Everyone donated money and almost everyone cared for once.

Although I have no means of sending money( nor do I have any money to send, sorry). I would have sent it this coming week. I'm sure the people who raised money last week, would have felt a variety of unpleasant emotions when they saw the sheer amount of people suffering in New Orleans. I mean, they sent their money and NO ONE had come to help these people. There would have been no indication of the money being spent in goods and supplies.

NOw is the time for aid, since the people are finally getting it.

But you know as and international viewer of all of this, I was surprised at the terrible delay in the relief efforts in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf cities and towns( dont forget them, there are neighbourhoods that have vanished).
And anytime I saw some engineer/officail saying that they didn't expect this to happen, I think its a huge massive pile of BS. even bigger, a superdome/convention center pile of $hit.

Sending supplies is important here, yeah there are places that need it more. But the US is in trouble and with more supplies they can try to stop it and rebuild it. Normal people can't really do anything though, and if they do its a waste of time and money IMO.

the BBC and CNN are letting nothing slip. there slamming the Govt hard. Like to see CNN not act like a Bush lapdog for once. In Canada some the media is calling it the purposely slow response has finally come after the richest, strongest country took almost 5 days to help its own citizens.

😂 Can someone tell me how FOX news is covering the story in terms of the Administration response?

I agree, supplies are the best thing required right now

How is FOX COvering. We don't get it up here in Canada.

YAY CNN.

I say call for the resignation of head of FEMA, and BUSH and his administration.

Hmm, I dont know what other countries can do. If they want to send aid, they should.

Well i think if they are right beside the US they could.

CNN won't even interview the Fema guy anymore. I also remember the reporter would not let the governor of Mississippi speak because what he was saying and what was going on was completely different.

Helping the victims, anyway we can is our duty, as a part of the human race to help out. Whether, we get attacked for doing it, because of the confusion, we must, do what it takes, to help one another. The U.S, might have that outlook, and they might think, they are helping, for their own selfish, we are the power status.

Nothing.

Look at all those buses that could have gotten people out.
